DRAFTMAX

Downdraft and backdraft workbenchextracts fumes and dust effectively

DO YOU REMOVE WELDINGFUMES AND GRINDINGDUST EFFECTIVELY?

We do. Proper extraction and filtration of fumes and dust in a welding school or workshop significantly contributes to a better work environment. Whether you extract welding fumes at the source, through downdraft or backdraft work-benches, extraction hoods or a general ventilation and filtration system, you always need to be in control.

Plymovent has 40 years of experience, specialising in the extraction and filtration of welding fumes. We offer high-quality systems that remove welding fumes and dust directly from the breathing zone of the welder and keep the background concentration levels within the legal limits, in accordance with international guidelines.

All our extraction and filtration products are designed for the metalworking industry to protect the welders and people working nearby. The result: better work perfor-mance, increased productivity and less absence due to illness.

Plymovent’s downdraft and back-draft workbench, DraftMax, is a safe and effective workplace. It is a combination of a workbench and an extraction/filtration system. The compact unit can be placed inside a welding booth, but also in a corner or connected to ductwork. It is suited for many applications, like welding, grinding and plasma cutting.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The extraction system removes fumes and dust directly from the breathing zone of the welder through the working surface and/ or optional backdraft panel. The backdraft kit is highly recommended if working with a heat source, like stainless steel. In this case fast-rising welding fumes can only be captured effectively by a downdraft and back-draft combination. The three-way spark arrester underneath the work surface ensures safety by preventing sparks from reaching the filter cartridges.

Inside the unit, filtration takes place through two oval filter cartridges with a total filter surface of 52 m2. They cover a large filter surface, resulting in a long filter lifespan. This means less maintenance and it reduces all-over operational costs.

A HEPA kit can be added if recirculation is allowed (depending on local regulations). Recirculation reduces the need for ventilation with outside air. Expensively heated or cooled air stays in the workshop, reducing both general and technical costs and the impact of operations on the environment.

EASY TO OPERATE

The DraftMax was developed with user-friendliness in mind. Service and maintenance, like filter replacement and emptying the dust tray can be done from the front.

PLUG & PLAY MODELS

■ DraftMax BasicThis unit is recommended for light to moderate welding and grinding activities. With the large filter surface, the filter’s efficiency is high and operational costs are low.

■ DraftMax UltraThis unit is similar to the DraftMax Basic. In addition, cleaning starts auto-matically as soon as the fan is switched off. It also offers the possibility of an automatic start/stop device making the unit even easier to operate. This unit monitors the compressed air and pressure difference permanently to ensure optimum extraction.

SYSTEM SOLUTION

■ DraftMax EcoThis model features the integrated spark arrester, but no filter cartridges. DraftMax Eco is suited for ductwork. It has to be connected to an external fan and filtration system, such as Plymovent’s SCS or MDB filtration unit.

A combination of options can improve the extraction effectiveness of the DraftMax accordingto your needs. Due to local regulations some options are compulsory.For recommendations and advice, please contact Plymovent.
